Fishing in ICELAND

[@Hrafna]

Don’t forget to turn ON the English subtitles!! Also just a warning if you don’t like seeing fish getting caught don’t watch ❤️❤️

[@АлтайскийКазак]

Have you ever gone bow or spear fishing?

[@erkinalp]

You are much cuter without make-up.

[@lkrnpk]

all I understood without subtitles was ''fisk'', or ''tre stora fiskar'' but then again the only Scandinavian language I know somewhat is Swedish, and also barely, so what did I expect. But Norwegian is a bit easier.

[@lkrnpk]

@@erkinalp but she like it

[@gonzachambi3937]

Actually it took me a few moments to realize that all of your family was speaking...icelandic? Nice family, lovely place, peaceful and absolutely wonderful.

[@cartier2312]

Can you please do more vlogs like show us the beauty of Iceland, traditional Icelandic traditions, everyday life and other activities 😊💕💕💕💕💕

[@simonjones16]

I've been lucky to step foot in Iceland twice already and know that there is too much beauty to document where ever you happen to look it definitely has to be on your bucket list

[@icelandinreallife2042]

You can also subscribe to me ;) - Mostly just me talking though.

[@almightybluedragoncel9390]

So you have to wear a vest and beanie in the middle of summer? Sounds like a heaven to me!

[@TheArcticReptileRanch]

This reminds me of summers in Alaska, cloudy, chilly, with gorgeous views and no nighttime.

[@icelandinreallife2042]

Yes, but we have less trees or bears.

[@kjf1093]

Y’all weren’t kidding about the six months of light six months of darkness

[@OddSifr]

I'm kinda jealous.

[@randomfangirl2503]

Nope

[@pikasoccer]

@Anonymous if you go in the springtime (when i went in march) the sun is up from 7 to 7, which is like the rest of the world. not that bad if u just do your research

[@icelandinreallife2042]

This phenomenon is very real. I wen't out for a drive yesterday and I noticed that the noon sun looked almost like a morning sun rise.

[@distar7471]

It's more like 3 months for each. I wouldn't say 6 unless you're in north greenland.

[@sean4236]

"The road is not the best" those are always the best kinds of roads for fishing. Lol

[@aaronhiggs]

That's literally how every epic fishing trip starts!

[@Hrafna]

Yes! I just meant they’re not the best/safest! A lot of people are not used to roads like that, just want everyone to be careful❤️❤️

[@sean4236]

@@Hrafna I was agreeing. Just listening to what you said. And most people could agree, that was a rough road. If a rough road turns you away. I love not the "safest" fishing roads.

[@robyfiorili]

I love Iceland landscapes.

[@inakinahuelsantosangel3460]

Jajaja they are smother than the ones in my neighborhood. The potholes are gigantic, they only lack the 🐟.

[@lolsaXx]

This reminds me of how I grew up living in scotland. So beautiful. I really want to go to iceland.

[@Chloe-nz2qx]

Hi hrafna! Me and my family love your videos and went to Reykjavík last year and thought Iceland was a beautiful country!! Love from America 💕 🇺🇸

[@realanthonyrich]

As a human being, watching you having great time with your family, doing something saman, it warms my hearth. This is a quality time and you make sure you're having an awesome experience. Takk fyrir mig! _:)_

[@davidward5659]

Wow! Just makes me want to visit Iceland even more... it looks beautiful! Greetings from Australia 😁👍

[@Joe_kickass25]

Fishing in Iceland looks amazing reminds me of when I went fishing in the ocean off the coast of Newfoundland here in Canada was unreal

[@michaelbayerl1683]

Interesting that you catch rainbow trout. These are endemic to the Pacific ocean watershed only. However, many trouts and salmons have been introduced from Atlantic to Pacific, Europe to North America, etc, and back.

[@1Rene9Night5cart0]

Love all videos about Iceland, its mystical natural landscapes and Wonderful people! Thanx Hrafna! Wish I could have tried some of that tasty trout after smoked or cooked.

[@mikeonly8554]

You are funny! But what about your island country?? Looks like the Moon! Do you have any forests? Trees?....0.o

[@GaellDragons]

This lake is soooo beautiful! I love your vlogging videos, especially when you speak Icelandic. I'm trying to learn the language and you speak very clearly so it helps a lot! ❤

[@stoneghost2936]

This video is exactly what I need right now. Thank you so much

[@Hrafna]

You’re welcome 🥺

[@evelynimmonen7737]

Why was this exactly the video I needed to see right now?? 😭 thank you for taking us with you

[@nomeaknat]

I loved This! Do you do any river/stream fishing? Your parents are adorable!

[@theeldar9785]

A beautiful lake! One question though. You are using an ocean rod. Do you fish more from lakes or ocean?

[@thegray5730]

Rainbow trout are hard to clean but good to eat. Very nice vlog.

[@Cajinguy]

Wonderful video Hrafna! Love all Nature. Iceland is so varied, rugged and beautiful! Never tried trout...bet it tastes good.

[@JWhisp]

Icelandic has a large part of its economy based around tourism and tourists however, with everything being sort of shut down right now are you seeing a lower number of tourists? And are people with jobs in the tourism industry suffering? I’m just curious thanks!

[@lamegoldfish6736]

That was fun! I love to see the nature in Iceland. Very beautiful country. 😃

[@Skalistre]

Hello, could you please do a review of the language learning apps that offer Icelandic? I think it would be best for a native speaker to give their opinion on it because where I live these online apps and courses are my best shot at learning Icelandic. Thanks (pimsluer and memrise re the main apps ive seen that offer Icelandic)

[@karenfriebel7680]

yeerhaaw Hello, I have been learning Icelandic for about 10 months on the free app called Drops. On Drops you can also pay for higher subscription levels that allow you longer, more frequent, or I believe unlimited lessons and practice time. I’d recommend checking it out! 🙂

[@Skalistre]

ooh, ok i will! thanks 👍

[@Skalistre]

Karen Friebel have you tried the other language learning apps? after 10 months how’s your Icelandic ?

[@karenfriebel7680]

Yeerhaaw, I haven’t tried any other apps yet, I’d love to find out which others are recommended too! Since you asked how my Icelandic is coming along, I’ll say this...I have been working on vocabulary words all this time, that’s pretty much how Drops is set up. I think my pronunciation is pretty good and if I see an Icelandic word or name, by now I can at least sound it out pretty accurately but can’t necessarily translate what it means. When I hear someone speaking the language in conversation (mainly on KZbin videos...I haven’t actually gotten to visit Iceland yet) the rate of speech is too fast for me to understand much of anything. For that reason I think I could understand/translate written text better than the spoken language. Since I’ve still just been using the free Drops app, my lessons have been twice a day for 5-10 minutes each. I’m ready to spring for the unlimited version to try to get better sooner! Hope this answered your question 🙂

[@Skalistre]

Karen Friebel well I’ve only tried one lesson one Icelandic pimsluer but i can say with certainty that if you want to get better at pronunciation and conversation atleast try the free lesson and perhaps with the addition of memrise & drops (which i just tried and it’s quite enjoyable) you could get to a pretty decent level on your own. it’s a shame there’s only a few apps that offer Icelandic but there’s for sure other courses or apps i have yet to come across

[@ashara_rhaenys]

It would be great if you made a video with your reaction to Zac Efron's Down to Earth series, the 1st episode is all about Iceland and it is sooo interesting!!

[@williamnottingham6187]

The lake and the mountains are very beautiful

[@williamhadley1580]

You just reminded me I need to get my fishing license for here. What are the licensing requirements in Iceland if I do want to go fishing? Also got a good chuckle out of the disclaimer.

[@johnnymack657]

Those fishing pictures of you as a kid are cute!

[@bluesybear4396]

I want to go fly fishing in Iceland SO bad!

[@oilerdiehard]

At the 0:50 mark is that a face in the rock at the top of the mountain? Fun video - thanks!

[@baktus79]

This was awesome :D Keep doing the vlogs, I really enjoy them :) lol, laught a little when you did that "Mr Burn" thingy

[@WhiteTiger333]

Those are big rods! Are there "lunkers" in that lake? The rainbows look like a tasty dinner that night!

[@nadeemakhtar4890]

Such a beautiful place and also I really like your vlog great video

[@paulosa8823]

Hi! Great video. I'm a fan of fishing myself. Do you pay for fishing or just for the cottage? Like if you just go fishing for a couple of hours do you still have to pay? Do you need a fishing permit? How much does it cost? I pay 3€ for one day, 6€ for a month or 12€ for a year here in Portugal (if prices haven't change since I haven't gone fishing lately). Have you ever tried the ledgering technique (bottom fishing)? I'm not sure if this is the name in english, but it's when you use a weight in the end of the line, a hook and some kind of artificial or living bait. Have you ever tried fishing on salt water? I noticed you are not a "catch and release" fisherwoman? Do you eat the fish later? (not a big fan of fresh water fish) And finally (sorry for the long comment) is there a minimum size limit to the fish you can catch? Here it varies on the species and is used to control the overfishing and the fish stocks. For example a sea bass must be at least 23 cm to be a legal catch. Hope you release more fishing videos.

[@richardnagele5877]

So awesome to see you with your family and significant other in nature. Another great video..be waiting for next🖤🖤🇮🇸🇮🇸

[@Lita1]

Nice video Hrafna fishing is so relaxing with a tasty treat, the catch. I liked this video yes!!!! :)

[@starfisher87]

I love fishing, especially for Trout. I live on The Big Island of Hawaii and the best way to fish is on a boat which I don't have and shore fishing is kind of hard and you have to be careful what reef fish you eat because of the ciguatera poisoning you can get. So I miss fishing in Colorado for trout and would love to fish Iceland, but I doubt I'll ever be able to visit there. Love Your Videos. Iceland is very Beautiful. The only place I've seen that compares in Beauty is the Island of Kauai here in Hawaii.

[@ChrisOwenGuitar]

Great video Hrafna, beautiful scenery. Could you maybe do a video about driving in Iceland, i.e. road etiquette, best types of car to hire, which roads to avoid? Also, the rules about navigating roundabouts which differ from other countries (inside lane has priority). Thanks again 😃.

[@shagwellington]

Is it legal to use a rowboat in that lake. I think you meant 11:30pm, still light. So is Iceland above the arctic circle?

[@leswhynin913]

Do you ever go saltwater fishing?

[@jbree8456]

What do you think about fly fishing and have you tried?

[@davidrdz8178]

It looks like so much fun! I hope to go there someday. Hope you enjoyed the fish dinner.

So clean and natural. I love iceland❤😢😭😭. Hey have you met OMAM band there maybe.. cause they seems often fishing

[@idlabi]

Have you ever fished in Arnarvatns Heiði?

[@mcmelre]

Do you keep the fish and eat them, or is it catch and release?

[@klavicus2276]

very kind and polite of you to warn ppl who are not into fishing ^^ the landscape look so interesting bet great for making fantasy movies. I never fished but I knew /know a few who also love to fish but my best friend thinks that’s kinda cruel. but he is vegan. and I personally know what you do here is tradition and you don’t fish too much what you can’t use. Question: is it true you can let fish free after catching? And can they even survive after getting “hooked” or do you need special fishing tools for that? I also think - and I bet you heard this often - that you have a sweet and nice voice to listen to. ^^ and you look very happy with your Cap and Jacket. (And pretty -> yeah sry I am a guy ^^) is it also normal that ppl in Iceland do so much with their relatives. Cause I wouldn’t say it’s that common here in Germany. And I think it’s lovely to see how your dad/uncle (?) doesn’t know what youtube is but is open to it (still making fun of it :P) tells me your social environment is kinda grounded/down to earth which is nice! :) I think too many things get lost and kinda fake due to social media and superficial channels. And that’s not my opinion cause I am old I am still in my twenties. ^^ Life looks less busy and less crowded and kinda “smaller” than in comparison to Germany and I think this would help ppl here very much too. Ppl get to carried away 24/7 cars everywhere and if you go into nature you mostly does travels instead of doing it in your free time during an ordinary day/weekend. Do you fish sometimes alone - or do something alone? Or are you more the sociable person who needs to do/does everything with other ppl (friends, relatives etc)? Does everyone in Iceland has a car? Or do families with wealth have cars? Cause it seems to be kinda a must-have. x) I personally don’t even have a driving licence cause we have far too many cars here in Germany and I don’t want to support this as long as I can. not many understand this here but maybe you can. Just found you. Keep it up, viking princess of the seas! ;)

[@bowfishguy1637]

I too love fishing, but i could fall in love with a video of nothing but the beautiful country

[@laszlosimon2331]

Bravo! There only trouts?

[@guiort1971]

Hi Hrafna! I notice in your video that the nature of the place where you going, there are just rocks, grass and flowers. And I was thinking. If a person get lost, how this person survive? (thinking this person do not have fishing rods). Bye Hrafna, a big hug from Brazil!.

[@douglasfrompa593]

Nothing wrong with some good wholesome entertainment. Thank you. Have a good day.

[@Patmanx1]

That gravel road though... I could never drive on that at a safe speed. Those bends and turns just beg to be raced on. Are you allowed to keep/eat your catch or are there rules? (ie fish must be a "X" in size or toss it back, etc.)

[@eduardomendez7611]

I want to ask you something . Is this your last video? Because I would like to keep seeing new video about Iceland and their culture.

[@thomaskalbfus2005]

Nice video. Was the water cold? Ever try swimming in it?

[@billdurfy2110]

How cold was it?

[@edilsonlira7991]

What a place! I think it's so very amazing to relax and fishing! But here in Brazil we use to do it in sunny days, rs.

[@Blueraccoon977]

i really liked this i hope there will be more fishing videos to come

[@mpuig7406]

Personally I haven't experienced fishing in my entire life, however I just do not like touching the fish! Idk to me there's something weird about touching the fish. the ocd kicks in lol

[@milesgochuico6323]

Somewhat of a dumb question, but are you allowed to swim reasonably anywhere in Iceland? I know its cold but you know just for the fun of it or a dare

[@dee74raz]

Miles Gochuico people swim in the geo-thermic pools as it’s warmer, but theoretically you can swim anywhere, even diving, unless there is a sign that prohibits swimming or diving.

[@NickVennlig]

I'm honestly so stupid. I watched the entire video without subtitles thinking I'll have to use my limited Danish/Icelandic. I was so proud that I heard "fisk" Thanks for the subtitles!
